Hi Garvan,

Sorry for late reply. I was away at a conf.

You gotta configure it as './configure --sysconfdir=/etc
--prefix=/usr`. Yeah, I know its annoying that you can't just install
it to your own prefix and have to tell it explicitly where sysconfdir
is but this is true for all system services AFAIK. However, I really
should put that in README file..

Regarding launching, when installed correctly, the service should
launch automatically on use.
